Specialty Polymer Synthesis

CEITEC VUT-DS212AAk. rok: 2013/2014

This lecture presents basic and advanced methods in the synthesis of polymers including various types of polymerizations (step and chain polymerizations, controlled and living techniques) to synthesize multiple kinds of homopolymers, copolymers (e.g. block copolymers, random copolymers) branched polymers/copolymers (e.g. star polymers, comb polymers, graft copolymers, dendrimers, hyperbranched polymers) end-functionalized polymers and macromonomers, and polymer networks. Emphasis is placed on controlling the reaction variables that affect polymer properties (chemical structure, molecular mass, branching, crosslinking, sol-gel transition and crystallinity). The modifications allowed by radical, cationic, and anionic chain polymerizations, copolymerization, ring-opening polymerization, and stereoselective polymerizations are considered. The use of self-assembly in the formation of macromolecular structures using hydrogen bonding, ionic bonding, and other non-covalent bonds is discussed at the end of the course.
